Galaxy trio in Pavo

Hi,

While driving myself around Pavo tonight using remote desktop
I found this beautiful little cluster of mag 11.5-12.5 galaxies
very close by to the globular cluster NGC6752, itself a fine object.
I was actually heading for NGC 6744 (a mag 8.5 galaxy)...
another night

Very still and foggy tonight and the seeing is still excellent.
No sharpening was needed on this set of 194 of 300 frames.
Bad frames culled mostly due to periods of high cloud.Harsh!

All captured from the warmth of the house...<grins>
